Ahoakie, N. C., May 12, 1923*! Chamber of Commerce, Ahoakie, N. C. Deap Sirs?It was my good for tune to win the scholarship medal which you, aa a civic body, offered to the Senior making the highest average during the four yqars. My negligence in thank ing you has been due to the steady rush immediately after Commencement, but I can assure you ft- was highly appreciated and will continue to be. If I can be of assistance in helping Ahoskie's Chamber of Commerce to be a more useful factor in our city's development, I shall deem it a pleasure to be allowed to do so.. Yours truly, THOMAS W. BAKER. e a ? * ? ? ' timely tips for * ' the home gardner * * Just now is a most important * time in the home vegetable gar- * den. There are the young toma- * to plants, (the young peppers and * eggplants to be transplanted and * the cabbage and cauliflower to * be looked after. All of these are * much benefl&ed if they can be * transplanted .now in a good * well-pulverizes soil that contains * humus or decayed vegetable * matter so that the Young roots * will not dry out nor the soil bake * about them. F. E. McCall, ex- * tension Garden Specialist for the * State College and State Depart- * ment of Agriculture, says that * these things should receive at- * tentidw at onee. He advisee also * that the young tomato plants be * kept off the ground and sprayed * with the Bordeaux Mixture to * prevent blight. * Mr. McCall says. "Now is the * time to make additional sowings * of early peas (Little Marvel * variety) and the stringless green * pod snap beans. Try some Gold- * en Bantam sweet corn for a * change this year. White Icicle * radishes, early half-long car-/* rots and leaf lettuce s (Black * seeded Simpson)! may alse be * planted now. In place of the * head lettuce try some Cos lettuce * for the hot weather. This can * be planted by making two or * three sowings at two weeks in- * tervals and grown and handled * in the same manner as head let- * tuce. The entire garden can be * kept producing some food crop * regularly !if the plantings and * cultivation are kept up regular- * ly and thoroughly." * The extension workers have ? made the garden an important * part of the "Live at Home" pro- * gram which they are fostering in * North Carolina this year. It is * found that the negroes are al- * ready responding splendidly and * it is hoped that, this year, no * landowner will consider that he * has a good farm unless he has a * - good garden. ? iHOSKIE PREFERS TO GO BASEBALLESS AGAIN Chang** nay com* nJ revmla tiona may op*n wMa the aya* af Ahotkia parson*; but thara is ona thing in which this town taltas but Uttla stock. It it bate hall that costs something. Sandlot stuff, untutored, unor ganised, without funds, and un likely to create any interest far ther than its immediate holler ing distance is the kind of ball club Ahoski* puts out. In fact, were it net for high school athletics in Ahotkie lit tle, if any, entertainment would be afforded the sport-loving ele ment. The town does not even provide a park for it* youngs ters to romp on; and, sine* the school is restricted in area, there is not a baseball park in the town. An attempt eras recently made to create enough interest her* to promote a ball club. Several likely ball players are numbered among this town's population, and they are ready to play ball, when the word is given them that they will get the support of the sport lover*. Aulander has recently organi sed a strong ball club and will bp represented on the diamond by a bunch of ball t OS tors capable of taking into camp the best of trail hitters. A. Simpson, man ager, has 'already asked for games with the mythical Ahoski* ball club. Palestine has 700 motor cars and 00 motor tracks. - * TELEPHONE COMPANY ? * ERECTING NEW POLES * * Farmers along the route of ? * the State and county highways * * are not the only ones affected by * * new routes and widened road * * beds. Among those who have * * been put to considerable expense * * on account of the building of * * new roads are the telephone * * companies. ? * The Chowan and Roanoke * * Telephone Company, "of Cole- ? * rain, is no different from the * * rest in this respect, for its work- * * men have been kept busy for * * months past removing old pole^ * * resetting them, and in many in- * * stances setting up new poles. In * * many places the old wires have> ? * been torn and tangled by the * * trees cut down along the new * * routes, and extra expense has * * been added by the addition of * * new wires. * * * This company has completed * * changing old poles, erecting new ? * poles, and stringing additional * * wires over the new* county high- ? * way from Ahoskie to Powells- * * ville. ? ?*????*???**?*?**?
